Why does the writer think Chinese will be an international language? _____________________________________________________________________________________ II 阅读下面的材料并按要求完成文后小题。 Do you think that living a hungry life is last century’s story? Well, it may be this century’s headline. The world has growing worries about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Children can’t escape this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hunger each year. What’s causing food shortages? There are several reasons. There are now more droughts and floods. This is very harmful to farmers and their ability to grow food. Besides, with the growing population, feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion. Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year. How can we help with food shortages? The easiest way is to cut down on food waste. Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think how much work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food shortage. You can also ask your schoolmates to join you. In 2013, researchers at Kansas State University in the US put up short anti-waste slogans (标语) in dining rooms, “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent less food after that! The author of the study said, “You don’t need a huge activity to make a difference.” 1.文中画线①处句子里有一处错误,改正(将正确的句子写在横线上)。 _________________________________________________________________________________ 2.写出文中②处句子中的同义词(组)。(每空限填1词) By 2050, the world population will be ________ _________nine billion. 3.将文中③处画线句子翻译为汉语。 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Write down at least one way of helping with food shortage according to the passage ___________________________________________________________________________________ 5. What's your understanding of the last sentence? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅲ Screen-Free Days I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, "What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops(笔记本电脑) or smart phones?" They laughed, and one of them said, "No way, Mr. White. They would be too much." I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset. ①According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smart phones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents dropoff they can't use their own "screens" at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day. It's clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That's why we have come up with the idea of screen - free days. During the course of the year, we have built in several ② days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without "screens". For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is "out of date". Others have designed something completely new. Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape (密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize without smart phones and have face - to - face communication without checking on "likes" they've got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smart phones. After our first screen - free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important. While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn't play such an important role in a learner's life. 1. 将文中①处画线部分翻译为汉语。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. 在文中②处横线上填写一个词，使文意通顺、正确。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. What fun activities can the students have at school? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. How did the students feel after the first screen - free day? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. What do you think of the idea of screen - free days? Why do you think so? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IV Life in Ancient Times The first China - Central Asia Summit(中国—中亚峰会)was held in Xi'an, China on May 18 and 19, 2023. Xi'an was the Tang Dynasty's capital (called Chang'an then) and was also the starting point of the Silk Road. As one of the most cosmopolitan(国际化的) cities in the world at that time, Chang'an had over 1 million people in the city, and 200,000 of them were foreigners. Most of them came a long way along the Silk Road. They brought their food, goods, arts and fashion. ① ________ Foreign fashionable clothes were popular in Chang'an. They always had close - fitting sleeves and turn - down collars. Central Asian and Persian people wore these kinds of clothes. People in Chang'an liked to wear them, too. Yummy food In Chang'an, there were many kinds of delicious foods brought by people along the Silk Road. Hubing was one of them. It's a kind of pancake with sesame seeds on it. Travelers on the Silk Road liked to eat it and brought it to Chang'an. Colorful arts Dancers from Central Asia were big stars in Chang'an. They could whirl(旋转) very fast on a small carpet.

The seeds are influenced by the radiation (辐射) and low gravity (重力) in outer space. When they are brought back to the earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的) than normal vegetables. People needn't worry, because space vegetables are actually very healthy.

They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one. One morning, they heard that an elephant was passing by, they had a chance to have a "look". Of course they couldn't look at it with their eyes, but they thought they might learn what kind of animal it was by touching and feeling it. They trust their own sense of touch very much. The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephant's side. He said, "This beast is exactly like a wall." The second held one of the elephant's tusks(象牙) and felt it. He said, "It's round and smooth and sharp. It's more like a spear(矛)." The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "You're both completely wrong," he said. "This elephant is like a snake." The fourth closed one of the elephant's legs with his arms. "   ▲   !" he cried. "It's round and tall like a tree." The fifth caught one of the elephant's ears. "Even the blindest person must see that it's exactly like a huge fan." The sixth man got hold of the elephant's tail. "Oh, how silly you all are!" cried he. "The elephant isn't like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree, or a fan. Any man with eyes in his head can see that it's exactly like a rope." Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, arguing about the elephant. They could not agree with one another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast looked like. It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly. 1.

They used to spend half an hour going to school on foot every day. It was a happy walk for them because there was a very beautiful lake beside the road. When the ice was thick enough, they walked across the lake. However, their mother didn't allow them to walk on the ice unless there was an adult with them. One day she said to them, "Don't go across the lake today, children. It's beginning to melt(融化)." When Tom and Annie came to the lake, the ice looked hard and safe. 汤姆忘记了妈妈所说的话. He told his sister, "The ice hasn't melted. It is not dangerous at all. Don't worry. Let's enjoy ourselves on the ice." So they stepped (踩) on the ice, and started to go across the lake. They had not gone far before the ice broke, and then they fell into the water. Luckily, a man heard the children shouting for help. He quickly jumped into the lake to save them. Tom tried to get to the shore (岸) without any help. However, poor Annie wasn't able to swim. She couldn't get to the shore by herself. At last, the man saved her from the water successfully. Tom got a bad cold after the accident. He remembered the lesson (教训) as long as he lived. 1.

It's also one of the traditional Chinese art forms. Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls (货摊) in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China. The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a revolvable arrow (可旋转箭头) on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make. Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the "paintbrush", and a smooth slab (台面) as the "paper". To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid (固体的) if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done. The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However, some of them still insist on this art. They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Non - Material Culture Heritage. 根据上面短文的内容回答问题(每个答案不超过6个单词) 1. Did sugar painting become popular in the Ming Dynasty? ___________________________________________________________________________ 2. Where do the sugar painters usually sit? ___________________________________________________________________________ 3. When do the customers turn the arrow? ___________________________________________________________________________ 4. How do sugar painters make the syrup before painting? ___________________________________________________________________________ 5. Why do some of the sugar painters hold different activities? ___________________________________________________________________________ IX Hand gestures have been commonly used in our daily communication. They add to the message by filling in what words sometimes leave behind. But are you aware of the history that goes behind some of these popular hand gestures? Probably not. Unsurprisingly, each of them has its special history. Handshake Whether you're greeting someone for the first time, or successfully reaching an agreement, shaking hands is usually the go - to gesture. Who decided on this gesture, anyway? The handshake dates back to ancient Greece where it was used as a way to show peace. High Five Whether you entered the final competition or won a debate(辩论), you were probably given or received a high five before. According to some sources, the high five first became popular when baseball players performed at Dodger Stadium on October 2, 1977. Glenn Burke, one of the players, lifted his arm high above his head and slapped palms with his teammate Dusty Baker to celebrate a victory, marking what is widely considered as the first record of a high five. The Fist Bump The fist bump comes from boxers(拳击手) in the 1970s after people copied how they touched gloves before a competition. Later, instead of shaking hands, fist bumps became popular among basketball players. The gesture soon spread to all basketball lovers. 1.

At that time, I didn't understand what he meant. However, my first day at senior high school made me realize the meaning of his words. My senior high school life began on August 26th. I woke up early and stepped into my high school. The minute I saw the class list on the wall, I found zero old classmates or friends in my class! None! When I entered the classroom, I saw a middle - aged man. "Welcome to my class! I'm your teacher," he said. After everybody was seated, each of us made a short self - introduction. Then my teacher announced that we were going to make an important decision on our senior high school life - to choose the courses from all the subjects at school. "This will have a lot to do with your future. The school adviser will help you choose the suitable ones. You still have several days to think about it or have a talk about it with your parents!" said my teacher. "High school life has started, and you should be responsible for your decisions." In the evening, I sat in the living room silently. Dad asked me to share the day with him. After hearing my words, dad touched me softly and said, "Different things happen in every period of our life. And they all come with hope. You could make the first move to make new friends. What's more, you could join different clubs at senior high. As for choosing courses, isn't it a good thing? You could choose the ones you like and the ones that you are good at. Come on, my boy!" I start to look forward to my challenging and hopeful high school life. I believe I can make it. 根据短文内容,回答下列问题。 1.

Where did the writer share the day with his father in the evening? ______________________________________________________ 5.

Here is an introduction to them. Light comes from the sun. It also comes from flashlights, candles and streetlights. Light is important because it lets us see things. It can pass through clear objects, such as clear glass or clear plastic. But it cannot pass through objects that are not clear. Sunglasses will stop some light and protect our eyes. Heat comes from many things. The sun makes the earth’s land, water and air warm. （A）We get heat from burning things like wood or coal. Heat is an important energy for us. Heat makes our body and our homes warm in winter. We also use heat to cook. Sound is a kind of energy that you can hear. Sound is made when something vibrates（振动）. When you talk or sing, put your hand on the side of your neck. Then you will feel your neck vibrating. When you hit a drum, the drum and the air around it vibrate. When the vibrating air reaches your ears, you hear the sound. There are loud sounds and soft sounds. When you shout, you make a loud sound. When you speak very quietly, you make a soft sound. All sound has pitch（音高）. A drum is an instrument with a low pitch. A bell is an instrument with a high pitch. Electricity is made by burning fuel（燃料）. Electricity moves through wires into buildings and homes. It gives many things power to work. Electricity makes lamps, computers, fridges, TVs and many machines work. Electricity makes streetlights shine. Electricity can run through water, so never use it near water. 1. Where does light come from? ___________________________ 2. Translate the underlined sentence(A) into Chinese. ___________________________ 3. Why can people hear the sound of a drum? ___________________________ 4. Ask ONE question about the last paragraph with How, What, Why... ___________________________ 5. What is the main idea of the passage? ___________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
